Demon Blood by Meljean Brook

I just finished reading an ARC of Demon Blood by Meljean Brook and loved it. This was the first I’ve read by this author even though she has many books in print. She was already on my TBR list of authors so when I won an ARC from her, I was very excited.

Demon Blood is the latest book in Meljean Brooks’ Guardian series. It’s the story of Rosalia and Deacon, two people who desperately need love but avoid it. Deacon is the perfect tortured hero who doesn’t believe he deserves love even though he is probably the most deserving of it. Rosalia is a wonderful heroine who loves deeply but never had a love of her own.

They come together to execute a simple yet intricate plan to destroy demons. Working together, they come to know, trust, and eventually love each other deeply.

Meljean has created intriguing characters who come to life for the reader. Her story draws you in and you don’t want to stop reading. She gives just enough back story so the reader knows what happened to get Deacon and Rosalia to this point but she also makes it interesting enough that you want to know more if you haven’t read the previous books.

I thoroughly enjoyed Demon Blood and recommend it to anyone who loves the paranormal genre. I will be getting Meljean’s backlist of books and putting them at the top of my TBR pile.
